Defining Art
Art is something produced through imagination. What a person imagines is a product of their collective experiences as a human being. Therefore, art can be something obvious like a painting to a cartoon or a meme. While something like a meme may not be thought of as art at first glance, they all come from the same source. Like Paintings or Sculptures, a meme or a cartoon starts out small, like an idea. It is then created, and may influence people in different ways, even if they don't know it. It could be argued that everything is a piece of art, from a greeting card, to an article of clothing. They started as an idea, and then they were made.
What is Style?
Style if fashion, manner, the way people may express themselves, and so much more. Obvious styles include the cliches that people grow up with as kids such as goth, punk, preppy, etc. However, style may also refer to a number of various things including (but not limited to) other forms of expression, architectural styles, art forms, and the type of music one may listen to or sing. Some people choose to create their own style, whether that be something ordinary to the truly outrageous. However, what is considered normal somewhere may be unheard of in another area. Therefore, the magnitude of ones style choice is like many things, dependent on location.
